Complicated advice needed

My husband and I have two children. I have was diagnosed with brain cancer during my second pregancy and it has not been an wasy ride since hearing this is life limiting.

We planned for more babies, but treatment will cost me my fertility and paying privately outside of the NHS is out the question.

After discussions, having another baby before treatment is posable as i am currently stable and minimal risks were noted as like any other pregancy.

What do I do? What do WE do? Our whole life evolves around ouf children. One more would complete our family.

We would be heavily judged as selfish, I am sure.
But we have been given the all clear to go for it.

This would be our last chance to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

In all honestly, I think you're the only people who can possibly make that call.

You could share every crumb of detail about your medical situation, your finances, support system and personalities and it would still be impossible for anyone else to say what you should do.

I do understand the urge, though, and I don't think it's an automatic"no", which you acknowledge some people would.

Good luck 💐

I think you'd benefit from doing counselling as a couple. You could organise the ideas in your heads, consider pros and cons and make a decision that both of you are happy with.
